Two heroes, killed in one day.

Maxus now found himself waiting at the rooftop of Doctor Han's clinic, drenched in rainwater. It was stormy, violent winds paired with a heavy rain which blasted Maxus at full force which the vigilante just willingly tanked, hoping that his physical discomfort could somehow hurt more than lingering guilt he had crawling around his heart.

The smell of wet asphalt filled his nostrils as a streak of lightning lit up the view in front of him, granting him a glimpse of the town as well as the two silhouettes of Tuskblade and Wing Serpent respectively, both of them finally arriving at the rooftop of Doctor Han's clinic.

"Soultaker? Are you alone?" Siu asks.

"Dante's downstairs being treated by Doctor Han. We were chased by the Puppet Man, both of us were completely outclassed. Nightbead found us, stayed behind to hold the Puppet Man back but I have not heard from him since then." Maxus summarized as Tuskblade took off his hardened leather mask, revealing the f

  • Soultaker: Guardian of Singapore   The Vigilante

    I took my first life when I was 15. One year later, that kill count rose into the dozens and by the time my teenage years were over...I could barely recall how many people fell victim to me. Most people around the world such as policemen and news reporters think it's around...five hundred. But I know the real number lies within the thousands.Maxus Tan stood at the edge of a tall skyscraper overlooking the Marina Bay Skyline, the gorgeous beautiful city of Singapore, his home, a sight that his eyes had feasted upon hundreds of times and yet, each time he gazed upon the city he would still feel a strong sense of belonging like every time was his first. He was known as many things. The Soultaker, The Sole Defender of Singapore, Vigilante of the Lion City, Southeast Asia's Deadliest Man... some people didn't even think he exists, that the Soultaker was a myth created by the locals to steer criminals away from Singapore. The infamous vigilante who is widely known to be the sole hero of

    "Bring those girls in!" Maxus could hear several voices within the school compound of Teck Ghee Primary School. They were faint till the point where people in the neighborhood would never hear them unless they were in the school's vicinity and at 2am, who the hell would be? Maxus looked around him, ensuring that no one could see him before breaking into a sprint towards the gates of the school, latching onto them and hopping his way over the fence before landing on his toes, making as little noise as he could."Those bastards are late. Should we call them?" "No point, Mr VIP ain't even here yet." VIP... Every word he heard just made the situation seem more and more strange. Maxus knew he had to get a better angle of the men as he made his way silently towards the source of the voices, drawing out his twin blades as he heard footsteps across the hallway heading towards him. The vigilante closed his eyes, honing his senses to focus onto the approaching footsteps and confirming that o

    Dozens of bodies found at Olympia Primary. Prostitution activities suspected to be taking place. Evidence point to a vigilante like person breaking into the hall and taking out the gang. Police warn that whoever was reponsible is extremely dangerous and that the public should remain vigilant until the culprit is found. "Names...Soultaker? What kind of name is that?" Maxus read. The teenager noticed one of the nearby newspaper outlets, their headline giving him all the information he needed for now. For many months now he has expected himself to be noticed, leaving a trail of dead bodies everywhere he went, it was only a matter of time before the police figured out that some vigilante like him was doing this. How many people have I killed...? "Maxus...right?" A gentle, flowery voice broke his chain of thought. Maxus turned around to see a familiar looking girl waving at him from a small distance away, a girl around his age with a slim build, shorter than him by half a head about

    The school day ended. Who expected that after just his first day of school, Maxus became known as the most dangerous student. His plan to stay unnoticed backfired on him quickly as news of his fight with the kickboxing captain spread like wildfire and since that day, martial artists from all over the school wanted to spar with him to see if they could take on the newbie who knocked out a combat veteran in 10 seconds. Now on his third day of school, Maxus found himself being challenged yet again.Walking out of his first lecture, he and Reynesh were greeted by a group of Taekwando students, one of the taller ones in his full sparring uniform, leaning against a wall with his arms folded awaiting Maxus."Maxus Tan right? I'm Rake Loh, captain of the Taekwando team and here to issue you a sparring challenge. I wanna see your skills first hand."The senior looked at Maxus who found himself staring at yet another taller opponent." Sorry I'm not interested."Maxus answered quickly, walking pa

    "Where's Maxus?" "I dunno. He didn't reply me. He isn't even online." Leah and Reynesh sat next to each other in their lecture theater along with Luke and Amy. Their psychology lecturer was taking their attendance, mouthing off the name of the students and eventually, getting to Maxus."Maxus Tan? Is he here?" "No Mrs Wong." Reynesh answered for his best friend. The lecturer sighed:" First week on school and already people are skipping class. You young people these days, take your studies more seriously please." Reynesh rolled his eyes, already tired of older teachers since his secondary school days complaining about his generation. Luke taps Reynesh on the arm:" You knew Maxus since secondary school right? ""Yeah." Reynesh answered. "Did he get into a fight or something? He often has like scars and stuff on him." Luke noticed. "Maxus? I don't think so? I know he has a background in martial arts and heard about it from him every now and then but...I've never actually seen him fi

    "I believe I found the man responsible Dad. I'll kill him." Maxus could still feel every breath he took crushing his sides, his neck all the way to his shoulders, stiff with soreness as he placed a brand new flower on his father's ash urn. He felt a pair of eyes looking at him as the vigilante turned around, finding Tony Ang at the entrance of the temple. "You have time? I have something to talk to you about." Tony asks. "Yeah. I have time." Maxus found himself in front of a table with a large takeaway packet of Roti Prata, Tony taking a seat in front of him and clearly had something important go discuss. "I'm not stupid Maxus. I trained you and I know your skills. The fact that you still sustained this injuries only tell me one thing." Tony cut straight to the point."I have nothing to hide from you." Maxus muttered. "You realize what you are doing right?" "Yes. I have no regrets." "Who else knows?" Maxus stopped himself to think before answering. He had knew Tony for a long

    Cybernetic Nightmare

    You're not indestructible.Your Kevlar laced clothes and armor can only protect you so much from the bullets and damage you constantly run into but at the end of the day, you're just somebody who doesn't know when to give up, somebody who cares more about punishing and saving rather than preserving your own life. Call it foolishness or bravery, you and I both know that is the truth. That's who you are... Maxus Tan. Who told me this...?Maxus could only spare a moment to remember those words as he was now sent flying across the air at uncontrollable speeds, smashing back first into the side of a parked van, shattering the glass and denting the metal doors of the vehicle. "Ugh..." Maxus could barely get back up when the cold metallic fingers of the Puppet Man grabbed him by the collar, tossing him into the air yet again.You cannot die. Not now.Maxus forced his eyes to stay open, deploying his chained blades which shot through to the roof of the police station, propelling him away fro

    Strings of Torture

    Colonel Amu closed his eyes, knowing in his heart that his final moments might be upon him.A six man vigilante squad had just defeated his entire military base of over a hundred men.He was in a dark room with a singular light bulb hanging on the ceiling. There was no visible entrance or window and in front of him was someone he never would have thought he would ever have the misfortune to meet and yet the demonic protector of Singapore himself, the Soultaker was in his presence. The vigilante's glowing hollow white eyes glared directly into the colonel's soul. "You don't know who I am, my kidnapping will have the Royal Thai Army down your throats in hours." Colonel Amu braved."My blade can be shot down your throat before you can even blink, wanna bet who's gonna be faster?" Maxus taunts."Why am I here?" Colonel Amu asks as from behind him, Siu lightly tapped her wrist blades against the Colonel's ear, warning him:" We know about the morgue and the people in your camp, there agains

    The Penjaga

    The PenjagaThis wasn't the first time Maxus had stepped foot in a luxurious estate. Nevertheless, he always found such places too surreal for him, admiring every last detail of the two story bungalow like house he had stepped into. The house reminded him of a villa, smooth bamboo, grey marble tiles and beige wood made up the majority of the materials in the house, providing a simple and cozy atmosphere.The main entrance led to a wide open concept living room that faced the seaside, allowing the cool breeze of the ocean to reach the living space, accompanied by the natural warm lighting of the environment. At the very center of the room, a large dark oak wooden table stood as Maxus took a seat, still admiring the many details the house boasted."I know it's pointless to say this but...out of courtesy, do make yourself at home." Dante tells him, sitting opposite him by the main dining table, placing his feet on the top of the table and munching down on raw olives. He was completely r

    Dragon Fist

    Maxus found the fighting style he was being attacked with familiar.Those sharp and powerful strikes, radiating with a raw primal intensity yet fluid and controlled, clearly needing years and years of training to achieve. Maxus didn't even want to utter another word, surging forward in a blur of explosive punches, testing his opponent's caliber through sheer overwhelming attacks, seeing how this mysterious stranger would respond.Maxus' blows thundered through the air, each one a testament to his battle experience and reputation. The mysterious stranger ducked and weaved through the attacks, moving like a graceful fighter when avoiding the attacks, his movements emulating those of a serpent like creature.He's adapting...Maxus switched up his fighting style just in the nick of time as the mysterious fighter retaliated:" I don't wanna do this.

    Guardian of Southeast Asia

    Maxus had been called many things.The Soultaker, the guardian of Singapore. The man who overthrew the Blood Lion and his armies. The man who massacred the invading forces of the Revenant, killer of the Asia's most infamous assassins, defeater of the Red Scorpion and now more recently, the demon rampaging across the criminal world of Southeast Asia.All of the corpses surrounding him, the fists and blades blasting at him, the bullets whizzing right past him or striking his Kevlar sewn jacket and armor. Fighting to him now was nothing more than second instinct, it was almost like he could predict the future, reading through enemy strikes like an open book and countering even before they finished launching their attacks. "It's him! Run!""Run?! We cannot lose this place! We have to fight back!"18 whole criminal organizations have fallen since the day he left Singapore. Hundreds of the people who have fallen victim to him, in jail or morgues. The rumors and stories of the Soultaker has

    The Death of Maxus, The Rise of Soultaker

    Daylight. It was finally peaceful. Maxus opened his eyes slowly, his head spinning in pain as his consciousness and senses slowly returned. He was barely recovered, many parts of his body still aching with soreness and pain but for the most part, it was the most refreshed Maxus had ever felt in weeks especially with the immediate weight of the Revenant's threat now gone. Memories of the previous night was hazy, all he could remember were the flashing images of Ali and Reynesh picking him up, bringing him to their house where he provided the number of Madam Ang to come and help him with his injuries. Madam Ang did what she was best at, helping tend to his injuries while Maxus slipped in and out of consciousness for hours and...someone...a familiar and gentle presence helped clean him up. "Officer Wong...Yuki..." Maxus' attention diverted to his fallen allies. Was Yuki still alive? Did the medics manage to stabilize her condition? "I was wondering when you'd wake up fully, you're
